Just the other day, Zuchu was unveiled as the EQUAL ambassador for the month of May. The EQUAL programme aims to strengthen gender equality in music by showcasing talented African women making waves in the industry and providing a platform to celebrate them.

“In addition to exposing me to the musical power that can come from the female experience, women in song have also helped me realise that we can overcome the setbacks that are part-and-parcel of working in the male-dominated world of Afrobeats,” Zuchu remarked

The Nyumba Ndogo maker added that being part of the EQUAL programme is a big boost to her flourishing music career.

Zuchu was the third East African female artiste to be featured on EQUAL as well as Times Square. The first two musicians were Muthoni Drummer Queen and Sylvia Ssaru.
